The Plot
Kaufman and Ferber to the backstage life of theater, this time in a theatrical boarding house in New York, where the “star performer” is a Hungarian émigré, a playwright who dreams of recreating his brilliant theatrical troupe in America. Surrounded by the colorful figures of other artists struggling to make it in Show Biz, Zoltan Laszko makes a go of it, thanks to pluck and luck only found in the Big Apple.
